Pine Box - Paul Westerberg

He never hit my mama

Hit that beach at Omaha

He never hit my mama

But hit that beach at Omaha

He lived — not gonna tell

About a goddamn thing he saw

Pine box and a white stone

Pine box and a free ride home

He had a pine box and a white stone

Baby brother laid before he had a chance to crawl

Baby brother got laid before he had a chance to crawl

(??) And he’s there on Iwo Jima

Pine box and a white stone

Pine box and a free ride home

Pine box and a white stone

Pine box

Ain’t afraid of dying

Living has got him stumped

Stand before God

He kneeled down in front

Ain’t afraid of dying

Living has got him stumped

Stand before God

He kneeled down in front

Pine box and a white stone

Pine box and a free ride home

Pine box and a white stone

He always took it slow

He always took it slow

Now there’s fluid in his lungs

Always took it slow

Now there’s fluid in his lungs

The HMO says «no, no, no, you’re done.»

Daddy’s on his way to visit for the second time

Daddy’s on his way to visit for the second time

The soldier cemetery where my baby sisters lie

In a pine box and a white stone

Pine box and a free ride home

Pine box and a white stone

Toughest Mother Fucker that I ever ought to know

Pine box
